Today is one of those days that when I’m getting ready to leave, I obsess over my appearance so much that I just stay home. All I need to do is go to the grocery store. This is ridiculous. When I look in the mirror I can’t believe how ugly I am. My hair, complexion, [...]

I honestly look nothing like Kim Kardashian. My hair doesn’t reach to my waist, and my breasts aren’t even half the size of hers. I often look at beautiful pornstars and their perfect bodies to punish myself, but the truth is, these women deserve a lot more from life than I do.
Appearance and sex would [...]

I have definitely gotten smaller because of the way clothes fit….and I do workout not just diet. I know I’m going to feel better when I’m about 30 pounds less than now…and I know the weight is coming off…but I wish I could hide until it does. It effects me so much that i will [...]

So, I’m almost 15, and I weigh 164 lbs. I just feel fat on my body, but the thing is, I look pretty good, except for the chest area, it makes me look fat, and then I dont feel good about my appearance and I don’t have that much confidence. How can I lose these [...]

Hey everyone, basically I’m a 19 year old male and I feel very uncomfortable being a guy. I was never into masculinity and "macho" things, you know, being "the man". I always liked wearing makeup, doing my hair in different styles, being skinny instead of muscular, taking extensive care about my appearance, or just general [...]

I’m not talking like..ABSOLUTELY RIPPED WITH MUSCLES BIGGER THEN ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER AND HULK HOGAN. Just..Lose weight. The doctor said I was overweight two years ago, and since then, I dieted and exercised on occasion (You know, giving up for awhile, doing it again, giving up). I don’t know, now..My parents say that I’m not even [...]

Throughout elementary and middle school I was always teased by other kids and judged a lot about my appearance nearly everyday. Now lately my own Dad occasionally will make remarks about how my skin looks, my hair, my weight, etc.
I’ve turned into a completely different person. When I was younger, I didn’t care how I [...]

this past week I’ve been feeling so lousy. I cry sometimes about my appearance. I used to have an eating disorder..It keeps coming back now and again..
I want to do something that will boost my confidence.. I already got [...]

I would like to know why did this girl act like this twas me, we met online but in person she came off kind of stand offish…(did she not like my appearance, and if so why did she make it so noticable)
From the beginning..I always felt I was unattracitve growing up cause my family treated [...]

A psychologist just diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder by completing a survey about how i feel about myself.
But i not really sure if i have it or not. I just told my gf how my partner has been treating me and she has told me to get out straight away because he is abusing [...]

Hello! I translated this text. You can check and correct me? But using simple terms (: Thanks in advance (:
The dissatisfaction of one’s body, is a problem that continues to increase. People, people and especially girls, are looking for an absolutely perfect physical, muscular, athletic, and are overly critical and intolerant of any flaw. These [...]

Ok, I’m 17 and I have recently started on Norimin birth control, I assume this is attributing to my new issues.
Because lately I have been feeling fat, all the time. I am consciously ALWAYS aware of my body, my stomach feels HUGE and heavy, and nothing I wear looks good on me. I’ve always been [...]

I was driving around the other day just staring at people on the street with love as if I knew them and they mattered to me…just to see how it felt. I’m not religious, but when I did that…I felt something. I felt that everyone does matter. And I felt closer to [...]

I hate my life. I’m 16 and I feel like my life is a giant black hole. I know that I sound like the typical depressed teenager, and I don’t expect anyone to read this or really care, but I don’t feel like I can talk to anyone about how I really feel and I [...]

I feel so old now. Ever since I turned 30, I feel like I am over the hill. I am a female almost 32 now. I have two divorces under my belt and no children to show for. Almost all of my friends have kids and own a house. I will never own a house [...]

So I’m in a long distance relationship with a girl who really doesn’t think she’s attractive…and I suppose most guys would say she isn’t. She is, to put it frankly, obese, and goes on about how nasty she thinks she is. I vehemently disagree with her on this–I think she’s wonderfully attractive in addition to [...]

For the last 2 years I have been seeing a therapist for my chronic obsession with my appearance. But I’m gettting extremely frustrated with my treatment because I swear I have BDD but my therapist insists it’s just Obsessive Compulsive Disorder because BDD people feel like they look like a monster and I don’t express [...]
